Ohio State students killed in crash

Students were returning home from spring break

The Ohio State University community is reacting to the news that two students, returning home from spring break in Florida, were killed in a crash.

University president E. Gordon Gee tweeted: "So very saddened to learn of the tragic car accident in Florida. My thoughts and prayers are with friends and loved ones of all those involved."

The crash happened Saturday near Ebro, Fla.

Police said Brittney Gallagher, 21, of Willoughby, Ohio was driving the car when it drifted across a center line and hit a pickup truck full of college students from Oklahoma. Gallagher and a passenger in the vehicle, Courtney Miller, of Niles, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Alcohol was reportedly not involved in the crash, and Gallagher and Miller were both wearing their seat belts, the report said.

Two other passengers in the backseat of the car, Diana Mitchell and Lauren Kane were hospitalized in critical condition.
